That instant tho mans face which, belly
ing his tiendlike deeds. has seemed beau.
tiful as an arch.angels, was made re
voting mass of blood and shreds OF
tangled flesh.
Immediately after the explosion Deputy

was completely enyeloped in smoke.
There he found the young anarchist living
on his back with great holes In his head
from which blood flowed In torrents. lie

placed on the table, He was still breath
ing family and while DIR. Gray was ex.
aiming him he coughed slightly and
blood poured forth again from his terrible
wounds and from his mouth and nose
The physician said the man could only
live an hour or so at tho most and he eX.

The sheriff says Lingg was stripped aud
carefully searched yesterday and the day
before. The news OF Lingg's dreadful deed
created the most profound excitement at
the sherlfrs Office. The Intelligence was
received there almost Immediately after
the event. With pale faces and excited
looks the deputies crowded together to
compare notes. and then separated 10
their allotted parts in forwarding intel,
ligenCe, or holding themselves In readiness
for whatever might occur. A number of
people Of all descriptions crowded into
the office, eagerly inquiring as to the par.
ticulars Of the event,
The news OF Lingg's deed spread
through the city like fash, and every
one is discussing II. Now that the bomb
maker has attempted his life, the friends
of tho other anarchists will redouble
their efforts in behalf Of the condemned
men.
When Lingg committed the dead he
was lying on his face on his cot. After the
afYair when hia COLL xyaa ano,,hn1, anntL a.
candle was found, AT the top, barely
concealed by the end of the wick, n second
Illuminating cap was found. So IL Is
supposed that Linggs attempted suicide
was committed with one similarly hidden.
The candles were furnished by the jail
so that the caps must have been put in by
Lingg himself. At5;l5 Lingg was thought
to be fast sinking and the doctor says he
will die before 0 o, clock tonight Al 300
p. m. Lingg died.
